2017 College Punts of 50+ Yards Leaders

Gross punts of at least 50 yards from the line of scrimmage. It is the classic leg-strength count.

Distance without placement can mean a touchback, so read it with net average. In 2017, Trevor Daniel (33) led college football punters in punts of 50+ yards, ahead of Michael Dickson (33) and Corey Bojorquez (31). 152 punters qualify.
